How are lactic acid fermentation and aerobic respiration different?

1 answer:

7 0

Lactic acid fermentation occurs as an alternative to that of aerobic respiration, this occurs in cases where oxygen levels or concentrations within the cells are very low and as a result, is not available for the acceptance of electrons as the final electron acceptor. The cells undergo this process, where essentially, rather mr than using oxygen as the final electron acceptor after producing ATP. NAD+ I believe is able to accept electrons and thus we can produce ATP, again. Glycolysis occurs but rather than moving on to the next stage, Pyruvate molecules are ultimately converted to lactic acid which releases ATP, the extra electrons would go to NAD+ which is needed to keep the reactions going.

What happens to a muscle cell when there is a shortage of oxygen being supplied to it?

Eva8 [605]

Cellular respiration is the process in which your muscles use oxygen to produce ATP energy. The process is simple. Your body obtains oxygen from the ambient air you breathe. It enters the blood stream and is carried to your muscles, where some of it is used immediately, and the rest is stored by a compound called myoglobin. Whether you’re exercising or not, the oxygen in your body is used to break down glucose and create the fuel for your muscles called ATP.

Toucans disperse seeds of key forest species such as juçara palms by eating the fruit and defecating the seeds in new locations,

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Toucans disperse seeds of key forest species such as juçara palms by eating the fruit and defecating the seeds in new locations, sometimes more than a kilometer away. If there are no toucans, is the genetic diversity of palms likely to increase or decrease within forest fragments (and why)?

The genetic diversity of palm will totally decrease as a result of absence of Toucans dispersal of palms seeds which would not allow the seeds to be randomly grown anywhere. Dispersal has great impact on biodiversity of fruits because it enables the distribution of seeds to be grown everywhere

What would be the pros and cons of using Linnean and modern classification system?

Anna71 [15]

#1) What would be the pros and cons of using Linnean and modern classification system?

Answer: The pros of using the Linnean classification system is that it conveys a very detailed information about the species and the closest relatives of living things. It helps scientists to understand the complex relationships. A con is that it takes a very large amount of information and time for this system to develop.

I hope it helps, Regards.
